TL;DR
Eosinophilic esophagitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any cases with refractory reflux who complain of chronic unexplained dysphagia, with history of recurrent food impaction, and atopy or abnormal endoscopic features.
Abstract
Eosinophilic esophagitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any cases with refractory reflux who complain of chronic unexplained dysphagia, with history of recurrent food impaction, and atopy or abnormal endoscopic features.

Elemental diet resulted in striking improvement in both symptoms and histologic evidence of disease in children and adolescents with EoE, as identified by strict diagnostic criteria.

EE is characterized by immunologically active esophageal mucosa and FP, not DR, effectively relieves symptoms, and FP significantly reduces mucosal inflammation associated with EE.
Quality of Life ResearchDevelopment and psychometric evaluation of the patient assessment of upper gastrointestinal symptom severity index (PAGI-SYM) in patients with upper gastrointestinal disorders

Results suggest the PAGI-SYM, a brief symptom severity instrument, has good reliability and evidence supporting construct validity in subjects with gastroesophageal reflux disease, dyspepsia, or gastroparesis.

Eosinophilic esophagitis in adults of all ages is more common than recognized and mucosal furrows are easily overlooked at endoscopy although this finding is an important clue to diagnosis.

An esophageal motility disorder should be a novel indication for biopsies in adults with long-lasting dysphagia and a trial with corticosteroids before bougienage may reduce active inflammation and the complication rate.

It is suggested that most patients with idiopathic eosinophilic esophagitis have esophageal strictures, often with distinctive ringlike indentations that produce a ringed esophagus.

EE should be suspected in young men with unexplained dysphagia or food impaction even in the absence of typical endoscopic findings of rings or corrugations, linear furrows, and narrow esophagus; diagnosis is confirmed by 20 or more eosinophils per high-power field on proximal or mid-esophageal biopsies.
Current Opinion in PediatricsEosinophilic esophagitis
63 Citations2004Chris A. Liacouras, Eduardo D. Ruchelli
The incidence of EE is rising and EE is easily diagnosed by endoscopy with biopsy, it is important for physicians to not only accurately identify patients with EE but also understand the treatment options available.
